Hartz Mountain Corporation issued a voluntary recall for its Hartz® Chicken Chews™and Hartz® Oinkies® Pig Skin Twists wrapped with Chicken for dogs in the United States after it was discovered the recalled products contain trace amounts of unapproved anitbiotic residue. The recall, released 25 January 2013, reads: "Even though two-thirds of the products we tested did not contain antibiotic residues, we would rather be overly cautious by voluntarily withdrawing these products from the market."
These antibiotics are approved for use in poultry in china and other countries including European Union member states but are not among those approved in the U.S. Based on the FDA's review of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM) results, there is no evidence that raises health concerns and these results are highly unlikely to be related to the reports of illnesses FDA has recieved related to jerky pet treats.
